I had a rattly engine from cold (had about 130K) and suspected the timing chain and had it replaced by the roll in method. The engine is now rattle free even from cold so I reckon it was worthwhile. It was done by Griffin Autotechnic, Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire (I am in UK) for about £150 parts and labour. They seem like a really good garage for classic 900s.
I also use fully synthetic and change at about 5000 miles. Over time that seems to have cured a rather rattly cam follower.
I reckon it is worth investing in a few things like this on a preventive basis.
